Was hoping this would fix some of our down-convert issues but our picture is still off 1 frame and our audio is off 2 when we lay to digi most of the time (every once and a while itll be on which really makes me pull my hair out).

It is not uncommon to shift your audio if you are doing a downconvert. The process of downconverting takes time and this process is not just unique to AJA products. If your audio is off 2, did you happen to shoot 720p24 on an older Varicam?
